I've been noticing a TON of polls. While polls in and of themselves are not bad, a lot of them are duplicate topics. Somebody is sure to argue, "No, they're not!" but they actually are. For example, "Favorite RBYGSC Legendary," "Favorite Legendary," and "Ho-oh or Lugia?" essentially are the SAME poll. I'll give it a week to see how things look, and if nothing has changed, I may have to start locking/deleting topics.

I think the ho-oh or lugia and Favorite RBYGSC Legendary are slightly different.

ho-oh or lugia is just whatever one you like more out of just them, the other is just all of legendaries.

Though I think "Favorite Legendary" should be locked, since the other one (RBYGSC one) has all of them and more.

You would be correct in that sense, but they still are QUITE similar. Also, we've got a thread entitled "The Best Type!" and one entitled, "Favorite Pokemon Type?" or something along those lines, and the poll question on both of those is pretty much the same.

[color=greenyellow]Yeah the type ones are getting annoying, maybe we should lock some of the other duplicate topics, I mean i've seen like 5 Favorite pokemon topics in different forums and tons of legendary polls.

And now that I think again about it maybe you should lock the "Ho-oh or Lugia" topic.

Because other members might get the idea of starting,

"Raikou, Entei or Suicune?"
"Mew or Mewtwo?"
"Articuno, Zapdos or Moltres?"
"Regice, Registeel or Regirock?"
"Groudon or Kyogre?"
"Rayquaza or Mewtwo?"
"Groudon, Kyogre or Rayquaza"
"Mew, Celebi or Jirachi?
"Jirachi or Deoxys?"
(You get the idea.) Just to get an extra post to their count.

I'll probably make a list of dupe topics and their locations later and edit it in.
